How to Calculate Post UTME Admission Screening Scores – All Schools

See How to Calculate Post UTME Admission Screening Scores for All Schools Using JAMB Point System.

Calculate post Utme admission screening total scores with the new point system as outlined below. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, some years ago approved a new Post-UTME admission screening system for all candidates seeking admission into various tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It was called JAMB Point-System.

This was necessary following the scrapping of Post-UTME test by the Ministry of Education. It is now expected that the new admission screening system will take full effect during the 2017/2018 academic session admission exercise.

Now, following the conclusion of the 2018 JAMB UTME exam, we at UNN INFO wish to enlighten candidates and the general public on how to calculate Post-UTME admission screening scores with their O’level resuts (WAEC & NECO respectively).

Before we start, take note of the following information about 2018 JAMB UTME;

UTME Examination questions will vary per candidate.

Candidates who score above 250 will gain merit admission by JAMB into the institution of choice.

2018 JAMB CBT will last 3 years for candidates with a score of 200 and above

Scholarship may be awarded to candidates with a score of 280 and above in various institutions for a 4-year degree program.

New Post UTME Screening System (Point System):

Note: Before a candidate can be considered for screening, he/she must have been offered a provisional admission by JAMB. The JAMB admission checker portal is going to be opened soon for this process.

The second process is the point system where admission would depend on the point tally of the candidate. The system details is as listed below;

Candidates who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already will be allotted 10 points. The exam could be NECO, WASSCE, November /December WASSCE etc, but any candidate who has two sittings only gets 2 points. So this means that candidates with only one result are at an advantage but only slightly.

To get the total point, you sum everything together (i.e: Sittings + O’level + Jamb Score).

This implies that – 10 + 35 + 33 = 78 Points. If the cut-off mark for your course of choice in a particular school is below 70, then will be admitted into that institution.

Note:

(i) Catchment and educationally less-developed state would still be used for admission into the nation’s tertiary institutions.
(ii) Merit admission contains 45 per cent of the total candidates for a particular course, Catchment contains 35 per cent and Education Less Developed Areas (ELDs) and staff lists contains the rest.
(iii) Cut off marks will be released by the institutions this year in the form of points and not marks.
(iv) The point system for direct entry would be released soon.

what is the chance for a candidate who score 180 in jamb 160 in post utme, having 170 aggregate mark? did he have any chance for obtaining admission into ABU zaria to study Library and Information School Science?

I scored 189 in my jamb this year and I av only one sitting in my waec scoring 6cs, 2bs and 1A can get admission at Ibadan poly, osun university and university of Ilorin pls

You computation using O level result is wrong. It is not based on eight subject as you have shown but on your five relevant subjects to your course of choice. These five subjects in most schools include credit in English and Mathematica and three other subjects. For instance, to study engineering in most schools you need at least C6 in English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and one other science subject which could be Biology, Geography, Further Maths, Or Agricultural Science.

So the calculation will be based on these five subjects and the total is 30 points out of 100. 1 sitting is 10 points out of 100 and Jamb score is 60 points out of 100.

For Example if you have the following grades: English C4, Maths B2, Physics B3, Chemistry B3, Biology A1, Agricultural Science C5, Geography A1, Further Maths C6 and you want study any Engineering course at Unilag, the five subjects must be English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Further Maths.

Your point calculation will be (10 points for one sitting) + subjects points(3+4+4+4+3) = 28 out of 40
If your Jamb score is 230, your point is 29 out of 60.
Your total score will then be 28 + 29 = 57/100
This is the point you will use to compete for your course.

Jamb will give you provisional admission to Unilag since you score above 200 but you may still not be admitted.

If you want to study Mechanical Engineering for instance at Unilag and out of about 1300 who applied only 650 scored 200 and above. Jamb will give about 300 candidates provisional admission and they will compete based on their o-level results and jamb score for about 65 positions available for this course.

The point score for the 300 candidates will be calculated and arranged in order of Merit for of all. 45% of 65 will be admitted on Merit. That is 65 x 0.45 = 29. So first 29 candidates out of 300 candidates irrespective of their state of origin will be admitted. So Merit cut of could be 68 points. If you score 68 or above you are in.

Then 35% will be admitted based on catchment states which are six for Unilag. These are Ekiti, Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Onto and Ogun. 65 x 0.35 = 22.75 roughly 23. This will be divided by 6 and each state will have roughly 4 candidates.
So the next admission is to take four from each of the 6 states. So if you score 67 points and you are not from one of the six catchment states you will not be admitted. Whereas, a candidate with 54 from Ekiti or Oyo state will be admitted

The last admission is 20% Educationally less developed states like Borno, Jigawa, Zamfara etc. There are 23 of them. That is 65 x 0.20 = 13. In this case, you hardly find candidates from those states applying to Unilag. Even if they do very few score 200 and above so you may have only about 3 or 4 and these will be admitted. The remaining 9 seats will be used by staff children or those who know people who scored high.

These are what you are up to face this year.

Change of course and university is on now, be wise, change to a less competitive course and universities before its too late.
